in thread POST from a hyperlink

Thanks for you advice. I am also leary about using javascript but I'll reconsider what type of data I send and perhaps use the GET statement as you suggest. Thanks again. Joe

    Note that data sent via POST is no more secure than data sent via GET. It's still data that's visible from the client-side. If you have data you need to keep secure, the best way is to not send it to the client at all. You will need sessions and a lot more infrastructure that's beyond the scope of my Sunday morning reply. :-)

      I'll keep that in mind. It's good to know that. Perhaps I will use cookies instead, though there are probably still a lot of security holes. Thanks for your input. Joe
